11 The EAD is a centralised service that relies on external industry partners for the provision of Data Provision Operations and IT development and infrastructure services. As such, investment costs are directly supported by these industry partners. EAD costs are therefore broken down by business objectives as follows: Staff Remuneration: Salaries. External Effort: Consultancy and temporary staff. Operating costs: Service, maintenance and training costs. Depreciation costs: Costs related to the depreciation of very specific investments for oversight management. Indirect costs: Costs of human resources management and facility management. Sales of services UPP: Income from Service Charges. 11

12 5 Performance Indicators The performance indicators mentioned in this chapter describe the planned performance of EAD, for the provision of its services to customers (principally Data Providers and Data Users). These performance indicators are derived from the detailed performance indicators annexed to the Service Level Specifications signed between and respectively DOP, ITP and application maintenance. 5.1 Service availability The minimum availability and maximum downtime of the services provided by EAD, as agreed with the industry partners for 2018 and acknowledged by the EAD Service Steering Group, is listed in the table below: EAD Services Minimum service availability Planned unavailability Unplanned outages INO BF INO DP INO DU SDO PAMS CHARTS AIP ESI 99,975% Shall not exceed 98% 60 minutes in total and not more than two times in a month 180 minutes for release deployments Shall not exceed 30 minutes Downtime and system recovery based on best available effort EAD Basic 1 95% Downtime and system recovery based on best available effort 1 Internet access for any user Not for operational use 12

13 5.2 Service capacity The table below shows the average capacity per service made available by EAD to its customers: This yearly capacity corresponds to the calculated total for a year of the daily average capacity per service. EAD Services Description Yearly Capacity For Data Users (& Data Providers) Flight plans preparation Flight plans distribution Creation of flight plan through EAD interface, validation against SDO and IFPUV Submissions and reception of flight plans and associated messages 5 Million 11,5 Million PIB generation Generation of Pre-flight Information Bulletins 5,5 Million SDO reporting Graphical reporting PAMS download Retrieval pre-defined standard aeronautical data reports Graphical representation of information stored in EAD Browse and download the effective version of AIPs, AIP Supplements and Amendments, AICs and chart publications. 2,5 Million Million For Data Providers NOTAM creation Number of NOTAM created through EAD NOTAM processed SDO upload SDO download Worldwide NOTAM processed by EAD (excluding NOTAM creation through EAD) Upload of static data based on AICM/AIXM specifications and static data changes Download of static data based on AICM/AIXM specifications 1,4 Million AIP operations Validation and publication of AIPs PAMS Upload Upload of the effective version of AIPs, AIP Supplements and Amendments, AICs and chart publications

14 5.3 Service operations performance and quality Service operations performance Data Operations EAD Data Operations maintains the ECAC full static data set and the operational worldwide (basic) data set. This data set has to be maintained as specified below, except for SDO migrated Data Providers or if otherwise agreed: Changes received at least x days before the effective date Before Between 25 and Less than 15 Maximum number of days for commitment before the effective date by the effective date or within 5 working days after reception, whichever is later NOTAM having an impact on static data (PERM NOTAM) are processed as follows: - All changes based on PERM NOTAM with immediate effect or effective in the future, but not related to AIRAC information shall be committed within 2 calendar days after reception at the latest unless coordination with Data Provider is previously required; - all changes based on PERM NOTAM with effective date in the future affecting incoming AIRAC information shall be committed at the latest two calendar days after the respective AIRAC information is committed unless coordination with Data Provider is previously required NOTAM Processing This activity includes the processing of NOTAM, SNOWTAM, and ASHTAM received via AFTN. It consists of ensuring that all messages received are validated, coherent, in the required format and that their syntax and structure conform to ICAO Annex 15 and OPADD, prior to storage in the INO database and further distribution. To increase the quality of the NOTAM, they are validated systematically against the static data object in SDO. The TAM processing service is measured in terms of time and volume. Manual processing targets for incoming TAM are as follows: - Average processing time for messages: 10 minutes (elapsed time between reception by the system and storage after manual processing); 14

15 - 98,5% of messages processed within 30 minutes (elapsed time between reception by the system and storage after manual processing); - 99% of checklist received as TAM shall be analysed within 48 hours after reception (elapsed time between the completion of the checklist analysis and the reception time of the TAM by the system) PAMS This service includes the maintenance of a library of last available Aeronautical Information Publications in digital format (AIP, Amendments, Supplements, Circulars, and Charts), for ECAC+ States which are not yet managing their Publications directly in EAD. Two different categories are considered for the measurement of this service: - CAT I : AMDT (Amendments), i.e. posting the PDF file of an AIP Amendment in PAMS; - CAT II: updating in PAMS of the AIP sections and charts. The maximum time allowed for the processing of the above categories is as follows: Type of amendment or update CAT I CAT II Publications received on time 2 CAT II Publications received late To be processed within 3 working days of receipt by the effective date within 5 working days of receipt Service Desk The service desk manages tickets opened for any incidents and service requests. Ticket management includes the identification of the severity level, appropriate assignment according to the area of responsibility, traceability, follow up, recording of applicable solution or workaround, and an the estimated target date for the availability of the deployed solution. Tickets are classified based on the following severity classes defined by : 2 Up to 5 days prior to the effective date. 15

16 Severity High (A) Medium (B) Low (C) Definition Service failure or malfunctioning, which has major impact on business and/or has impact on client(s) safety operations. Business is proceeding but is impaired either at Service Provider or at client. No significant business impact The Initial Feedback Time is the period from when the Ticket has been opened until the first call back or change in status has been made in the Ticket. The Initial Feedback Time does not mean resolution time. This initial feedback time shall be in accordance with the Table below: Severity High (A) Medium (B) Low (C) Initial Feedback Time 1 hour 4 hours 24 hours 5.4 DOP Data Consistency Data Consistency service ensures that data errors loaded by DOP contained in the EAD are identified and acted upon, thus enhancing the consistency of EAD data. Data consistency review is performed according to procedures described in the EAD DOP quality system. It is performed on both, not yet published data (SDO, PAMS) and, committed/processed data (SDO, INO, PAMS). Type of service INO SDO PAMS Monthly percentage of service errors severity A/B less than 2.5% of the total number of NOTAM reviewed 2.5% of the total number of static data changes reviewed 2.5% of the total number of pages reviewed 16

17 6 Revenues and business perspective Depending on the type of client, different charges will be applied for the use of EAD services. These charges are Service Charges applied by and Royalty Fees defined by the Member States when EAD data is made available by the Client to third party end-users. As from 2017, the certification of EAD by the EASA will be a strong enabler for the development of the business and the resulting revenue. The services provided in 2018, for a total amount billed of 400 k, are renewed in Information on the implementation of new infrastructure The following major EAD enhancements will contribute to improving the performance of the air navigation service provider: SDD/WFM HMI and supporting changes to provide B2C functionality for SDD DP Subsystem improvements Basic software upgrades (Java, Windows, Adobe etc. versions) Phase out Java in the browser since support for embedded Java is being removed for security and other reasons 17
